Sterley Archer adjusting was easy after your video. Thanks

I prefer to drill and tap, it gives me the option to change the colour and add modifications

Just started restoring dinky and corgi great info i do that just drill out once repainted pop back on fantastic thank you

Might need to make a an adjustable jig or vice to hold the car while drilling out the posts.

I agree they are spigots where the head was flattened and domed. Getting them apart is fairly easy with a countersinking approach. I was wondering if anybody has tried drilling a small hole through the spigot and using some molten pop metal. Clip the tray and body together pour the molten metal down the hole and fill to level with the tray. Then, quickly use a concave tool to form the head before it sets.

I would like his email address and phone number please

thank you for your help

"watch that I don’t take too much paint off"!? how about you watch that you don’t take any paint off!

Good job Willy,.............Barry , New Zealand.

Lovely accent mate 👍

I have a newer SA hub - SRF3 - with a dorky plastic cover that attaches to the chainstay and covers the shift chain. Am I asking for trouble from water/debris running without? Asking because all the older ones I've seen have no cover.

Does anyone know how to restore moldy sails, ive recently purchased a cutty sark model but the sails are moldy.

Very helpful thank you 😁

In a way your solution is informative but not quite practical. I need to convert my cordless to corded but I don't have an adjustable power supply, and even if I did, doesn't make sense to lug around a large power supply when going to job sites. I need to know how to make this conversion where all the necessary components are integrated into the drill.

Thumbnail had me thinking dude was Freddy Krueger himself !

Cool! Thanks

This style of bicycle light is it from the 50's-70's?

Hello Willy, what size are the blind rivets?

Silver solder would connect the copper to the steel. Available from jeweler's suppliers. Thanks for sharing your obsessions. The matter to us addicts.

use fine steel wool to remove the "dead paint"

"aircraft coating remover" works very well (North America)

I repaired a Marx B-58 bomber

pipe pliers?

Where does one find a replacement key for the fork??

A simple video with a lot of helpful information,i watched your video and got my gears working perfectly on my 1975 raleigh Chopper,thank you 😀

How to adjust loose gear cable ?

Nice job . Would like to pass along a tip I use. I only deal in plastic soldiers, but may help someone. Liquid super glue that takes a little longer to harden then dust it with baking soda . It will instantly harden and you can layer it and file it to shape. No wait time at all.

Nice video. Just got an old Raleigh Sports 3 speed for $75. Learning how to fix and restore this was helpful. My husband has a dremmel so I will try on some of the rusty spots. I found a replacement rear reflector and seat bag. Now on the hunt for a light like this. No idea how it works or attaches but hoping I can figure it out. Does it use a battery? Or how does it light?

Thanks! Knock on wood, I think I've got it. I finally seem to have all three gears on my 1975 Robin Hood. Wish me luck!

Is there a better method of bending the taps without the risk of it snapping

Cheers! Checking my 1980 Gazelle dutch bike now!

This worked great for touch ups on a badly nicked up 73 super course frame. I just poured out a little green and added very tiny amounts of black until it was close. I was surprised how well it matched.

I've contemplated cleaning Vintage Metal Lunchboxes using Car wax compounds. Figured the leftover wax residue 'might' prevent rust from reforming. Also have had some success with the solvent: "GOOF OFF"

It would’ve been nice if he showed us how he washed it instead of just telling us that he washed it

You're correct about the fact that there were no rivets as such but just a post that was crushed down to form what looks like a rivet head however you can buy replacement rivets that just need a hole in the post and then glue them in. They look pretty much like the original.

Enjoyed watching this from "Across the pond" in the US. Thanks for sharing your skills.

I have a Marx Girard whistling station, that the metal tabs which hold the building to the base are all broken off. Any suggestions as to how to repair or replace them

Have you ever tried running a dehumidifier? Less energy, more efficiency.

Why not use a crowbar? My lord, what a barbarian.

Sorry but I don’t understand how this works. Where exactly does the moisture go?

Hi Willy thanks for this video 😊. I have a 18V 3/8” cordless drill with 1.3 Ah NiCd battery and it’s not working as the battery is dead and not rechargeable. Could you please tell me exact specs for adapter/charger I have to get? I’ve seen your other comments and mentioned a 20A adaptor is good. But can you send us exact specs or any product’s link would be great.

My issue is that i can't lock it on 2nd gear, but still a good explanation

wow....WD40? This means you will later have to disassemble the hub and wash ALL the parts, then reassemble, oil the moving parts using 20W oil, remove, clean and regrease all the bearings, then reassemble the hub, then inject two teaspoons of 20W oil in that hub shell oil port. It would be easier just to disassemble it, clean it, oil and grease and reassemble. You would at least save some WD40.

Excellent Video

1980 Raleigh Connoisseur now working smoothly - thank you.

Having a problem with my 3rd gear slipping out of gear any ideas of why this could be happening?

Super. Thank you.

Good work. But there is a problem. Making 2 or 4 wheels is okay but when we make a whole train bogie than these handmade wheels are no of the exact same Size and hence doesn't fit into the train. Plus the efforts are also little longer. Please find and suggest some method in which we can make wheels with ready to use items (like single hole buttons) Plus suggest to make at least 6 trains of 10 coaches. I mean suggest easy quick method for mass production

I wish you showed how to put the clips that hold the lens and reflector back into place. I can't figure it out.
